A new generation is rising up in Thailand.

As I stood before this congregation of a growing church in Thailand, I was amazing by the hunger for God that I felt in the room coming from this younger crowd of Christ followers. They were passionate, prayerful, alert, and spiritually engaged not only in worship and in song, but also in harkening unto the Word of God as it was being boldly proclaimed from the platform. Notebooks out (handphones, or iPad bible apps opened) it was as if they didn’t want to miss a thing of what the Holy Spirit was teaching them. At one point during the worship, I thought to myself: “This is unstoppable.” A movement had began in the Spirit and what I was looking at was the formation of the ‘new wineskin‘ of the Church that is emerging across Thailand. Here. They. Come!

This particular group call themselves The Five Fold Ministry Church: (Eph.4:11-12) A network of Z-Gen churches that are planting congregations on several college campuses and in select cities around the country. Their goal is to plant 1 church in each of the 77 provinces of Thailand, and 1 Thai church on six of the other continents of the world. They have planted two Thai churches in Europe so far.

We have been serving this group of churches for the past two years. Training and equipping opportunities are taking place on a regular basis in several of their congregations. Their core of apostolic leaders are dedicated to see a move of God across the globe! We are blessed to be a part of it.
